It is crazy to think that my mind feels defeated before I start running, yet, I have been able to come this far in the process!!
Every week, I have been saying the same thing, this is my limit, yet, my body proves me wrong every single week, and I am now moving into week 8!
These next two weeks, I won't let Lolita "my inner voice" tell me what we can't do!!!
Happy running everyone!!!
Well done, keep going.

You CAN do it.
I think you need to buy a suitcase and pack Lolita off on holiday until they behave themselves and then let them back in your head. I have a filing cabinet in my head that negative thoughts are shut away in...Enjoy week 8 , you have worked for it! Your body can do so much more than you think.
The mind games. I'm starting to think it's 60% of running. I've been running for 2,5 years now and each run I forget I find the start hard. The gremlins tell me to stop etc but I usually manage to tell them to get lost.
You can do it, you have done it! Keep at it 
Thank you so much for sharing this!!! Knowing, that despite the fact that you already have over 2 years under your belt, you still feel that at the start, it is very reassuring!! I am going to give myself permission to feel like in my first 5 minutes!!!
And do you know what, I’ve hear professionals say that too!
Despite doing a regular weekly run of well over an hour, I sometimes have the feeling as I'm heading out the house that I won't be able to do it. I've found it helps to tell myself that I'm going to go at a nice, easy, pace.
